Wales Projects

Since 2005, when the People’s Millions began, 18 projects in Wales have received grants totalling over £990,000.

Over the past five years of the People’s Millions competition we have seen some great projects in Wales. Previous winners include a multi-use games areas, parks, village halls and many more.

The 'Calon Lan' (Pure Heart) Project

The project will provide a community space for local people containing sculptures and art work in the grounds of the Big Lottery funded Healthy Living Centre (HLC) at Bryncynon, Rhondda Cynon Taff. The project includes the provision of art workshop sessions that will lead to the design and construction of art to be displayed.

EYST Urban Fix Up Project

The project will upgrade the youth drop-in centre whilst training young people in environmentally sound construction skills. The project will take place over 6-months and will train 12 young males and involve 100 members as volunteers.

Gladstone Refurbishment/Regeneration Phase 4

The project will upgrade a scouting centre for the benefit of the local community and visiting scout groups in North East Wales allowing opportunities to enjoy outdoor pursuits in a safe, comfortable and controlled environment.

Parc Chwarae, Hamdden ac Adloniant Dolgellau

The project aims to provide new facilities in the town's park in order to provide children, young people and the wider community with further recreational opportunities. The process of developing the project through cross community working is also seen as a key part of raising people's confidence and skill levels in the Dolgellau area. The land is currently owned by Gwynedd County Council, but it is intended that the partnership will lease the land in the long term.

Aber Valley Water Play Feature Phase 2

The project will replace the existing redundant paddling pool facility at Senghenydd Welfare Park, with a fully automated, interactive water play system that is designed to stimulate children of all abilities including those with disabilities.
